87 T TOP GT302

I recently converted my 87 GT to mass air. For those whom have not done this yet and don't think there is much difference trust me there is a world of difference. Difference in idle ,the way it runs just a big difference.
My question is one where I'm hoping to get many responses .
I'm looking to change the cam since with mass air I can add a larger cam. I looking at the B & E303 Cams, N21 & N41, and also the Steeda #18 . I want to keep the 1.7 rr as well.
Any ideas or suggestions will be appreciated.

cam choices vs what you have won't really net to any real hp also expect to change valve springs as well with any cam change.

I had new valve spring installed when I had the heads ported back in 2009. The kit I had installed for up to 542 lift. I know that was 6 years ago but I drive the Mustang very little . Probably less than 1000 miles , if that, since work completed.

the whole "lift up to xxx" criteria for what springs to use for x, y or z cam choices is a misconception....there is more to choosing a spring than max lift as the end all be all spec.

I'm going to have to do this eventually too. Good to hear it made a worthwhile difference.

How much would you estimate it cost total? I know that I'll need a computer, the wiring kit to splice in, and of course a mass air meter. Is there anything else required?

As far as the cam, it seems like the consensus around here is that if you're going through the hassle of changing cams, the B and E cams aren't worth the trouble for the slight gains you'll see. Check out something a bit more radical, I like Comp Cams personally. I've always had good luck with them on other builds.

Thanks, and sorry for the slight hijack.

Fiveology racing is where I ordered my mass air conversion. It is a complete kit that comes with computer mass air meter wiring kit plus instruction.
